Common Questions and Answers about Requip withdrawal symptoms

requip

It is recommended that you take this as prescribed by your doctor to avoid withdrawalsymptoms like fever, muscle stiffness and confusion. A referral to a specialist may also help determine your dose specific for you. Take care and do keep us posted.

Even though Ultram/tramadol is not considered a true narcotic medication and is relatively easily prescribed for pain by some physicians, it is as you have found out quite addictive and difficult to quit. As you already know, it usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms of acute withdrawal, followed by several months of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.

I would not recommend stopping it cold turkey as the withdrawal from it is essentially the same as the one for the opiates. It usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms followed by several more of just insomnia and general weakness and depression. A physician may be able to prescribe you some Requip for the restless leg syndrome and possibly something like Seroquel low dose for the insomnia. Tramadol also has an effect on the serotonin receptor in the central nervous system.

Also, my primary care manager doesn’t know much about opiate withdrawalsymptoms and as a result isn’t much help. How does one find a doctor with knowledge and experience with opiate withdrawal and should I be looking for a medical doctor or a physiatrist?

I am concerned about withdrawal, as even though my total intake each day isnt a lot, my body is used to taking one a day.
Is the withdrawal going to be long and hard, I am nervous and scared. I already take medication for severe anxiety (klonopin, effexor 75mg once a day) I just want to know what kind of symptoms and how long I will have to deal with it. ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

I am now taking (not prescribed) 5-20mg methadone per day as I couldn't cope with some withdrawalsymptoms. Suboxone is not available to me in New Zealand & my GP prescribed zopiclone 7.5mg for sleep. What can I do to get off methadone, minimising the terrible heart palpitations & breathlessness that are the only things I can't cope with? Please help as I desperately want off this drug!

But for right now, to deal with your withdrawalsymptoms, see if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep, Clonidine helps with the creepy-crawly feeling and helps stabilize the blood pressure. All of these medications will make your life easier during this time.

See if this doctor can write you a prescription for some Gabapentin for anxiety and general malaise, Requip for restlessness, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose 25-50mg for sleep. It will make withdrawals easier. You can try ibuprofen 600mg for pain. Please don't start taking the any opiates again as it will only throw you back into withdrawals once you stop again, or make you relapse.

How will i feel during the PAWS stage?
4. Is there anything that i can do or take to help with the symptoms in the weeks coming up?
5. Given my addiction level, can you predict how long the PAWS will last?
Thanks for all the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please let me know if you or someone you know has experienced rls for this long during withdrawal. I really have no other symptoms other than still having a upset stomach and depression only when my rls us really bothering me.

I can't take it anymore First thought when I wake up is to take my suboxone it literally controls my life and I'm sick of it!!! I know withdrawal is going to suck but I'm ready and committed to getting my life back in order. I heard from a friend that withdrawals can last months from long term suboxone use and that alone scares me I don't know if I'm that strong to suffer so long.

I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make the withdrawal process easier for him. I am also wondering if there are any resources I can utilize to help him. We are located near Syracuse, NY and all methadone clinics we found have a 6 month wait. Any advice at all would be appreciated, I've never taken anything stronger than Motrin so narcotics and withdrawals are not something I am familiar with!!

I kicked my Vicodin addiction cold turkey, and the withdrawals were not pleasant to say the least. I had all the typical withdrawalsymptoms, but the mental part lasted the longest, and was the hardest for me.
I have recently started up a 150mg/day Tramadol addiction that has been going on for around 2 weeks now. Some may say that 2 weeks is cake to withdraw from, but I am not feeling like it is.

This time I didn't have any withdrawalsymptoms with the Chantix. I don't know if this is an option for you but I had a great experience with it. On the downside the Chantix is hard on your stomach and will cause naseau but it you hang in there it will pass.
Right now I'm weaning myself off of painkillers and we'll see how that goes :)
Don't know if this helps but I thought I'd let you know..........

I was taking 5 a each day up until recently when I got completely tired of takin them an them just doing nothing good for my life so with the few I had left I cut back very quickly from 5 to 3 to 2 to half a day all in one week an I definitely had withdrawal symptoms my question is I'm 2 days now with out taking any I still have chills an can't sleep because I get an overwhelming frustration i believe u guys call that rls well any way since I had started feeling withdrawals while I was still t

As you already know, it usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms of acute withdrawal, followed by several months of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.

In December, I will have been on suboxone for a year. Meanwhile, I'm reading horror stories about suboxone withdrawal. Do you think I will have an easy time during wds? I haven't had any major problems while tapering other than feeling tired. I simply find it hard to believe that it is going to be easy!!!

Had 8 yrs of fentanyl 4 micrograms and dilaudid 2mg pumped in me for MV acct. QUESTION is how long will the withdrawal be? I'm on day 8 and only 20 hrs of sleep. With the worst case of RLS ever. Don't crave the drugs, but the racing thoughts r making me delirious. When does it get better. Snots, squirts and vomiting. Went on for 6 days. Liquid N-Quel works wonders also Amodium AD. Godsend. Need some sleep the creepy crawlies gone and racing thoughts to disappeare, before I go crazy.

I am currently in my 2nd week of withdrawal from a three year addiction to Oxy Contin. My life has fallen apart from my addiction. I am trying to get through this the best I can and it is getting harder instead of easier.. How long do you get RLS and the extreme fatigue that follows the next day. I can barely move my body. When will it end and what can u do to get some energy? Thank you...

The magority of my withdrawalsymptoms were gone or barely noticable after 14 days. Depression was longer lasting about 30 days. I thought the withdrawal symptoms were all gone after 30 days but then just last Thursday so a week ago, I began to have tremors in my arms and legs and severe stiffness in my legs. My family doctor said it is Withdrawal Tremors. What I don't understand is why did those 2 symptoms start at the same time and start so late in the withdrawal process?

You have not been on the opiate for long enough to have too much problem simply tapering, however if you do have some symptoms of withdrawals, here are some suggestions depending on severity:
See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep. It will make your withdrawals easier.

and take my ativan, ambien and vistaril...will it ease my withdrawalsymptoms?...I have probation in 4 days and am going to get urine testedx this time so I have no choice.......any suggestions...plus if I can go 4 days I would like to quit for good again...somebody help me...I need ADVICE on this matter people I can get thru the diahrea and the sweats ..its the BONE PAIN I cannot stand...I am due to start the Vistaril and ativan tomorrow...

I have a cell phone that patients can call 24/7 and get ahold of me...we discuss symptoms and then treat the symptoms. You could meet with your own family physician, explain the situation, what your goal is, and your fears. There is a fairly routine set of symptoms of withdrawl from opiates. Anxiety, cramping, twitching, restlessness, diarrhea, insomnia, nausea / vomiting...you know, the usual.

They gave me valium to take off the edge which has helped. My only symptoms I'm experiencing is anxiety and the chills which is driving me insane. I'm very proud that I've made it 7 days on my own as I thought it would be impossible and have an amazing support system. But even so there's things they can't answer. I want my energetic happy self back (-: so I guess what I want to know is how much longer is this insomnia and anxiety stuff (withdrawal) gonna last based off of time period and dose?

I'd asked him for help and he said I shouldn't be having these withdrawal problems and sent me on my way with no further appts. I had a full rx for the percs left and have been fighting to titrate down off them on my own.
I'm managing to take 3/4 of a pill roughly every 5 hrs. before I go nuts from shaking, shortness of breath, rapid pulse, sweats/chills, the diarreha(sp). loss of appetite, etc. etc. etc..
Where I live, "dependence" is considered addiction and no dr.

Tapering means gradually increasing time periods between doses and also decreasing the dose itself in a consistent manner.
See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep. and Clonidine for the creepy-crawly feeling and control of blood pressure variations. It will make your withdrawals easier.

then 2 weeks ago I took my last dose and went to a 6 day in patient detox.. They gave me methadone daily for the 6 days so I didn't feel any withdrawal during that period but when I got home after day 6 I was going NUTS. seriously I don't know how people don't capitalize how bad the IRRITABILITY/SKIN CRAWLING is. I must have rolled around in a circle 500-600 times in my bed. no meds helped. But If you offered me 1,000$ if I could lay still for 8 seconds... ID LOSE.
